  • Prototype and characterize components and full systems to ensure target metrics are met

  • Design and develop early system prototypes to de-risk new technologies

  • Understand and highlight n-th order impacts of electrical, software, or process changes

  • Triage and debug hardware and software interactions during design, launch, and deployment

  • Be responsible for overall functional and performance readiness of a system and its features during the full product life cycle

  • Analyze the failure modes and complete full DFMEAs/HARAs to ensure a safe subsystem design

  • Define system-level test plans and acceptance criteria for integrated robot builds, from bench testing through field deployment

Qualifications

  • Degree in engineering or related field or, equivalent experience

  • 5+ years of experience in systems engineering or a cross-disciplinary hardware role involving complex electromechanical or robotic products

  • Strong electrical and embedded systems fundamentals

  • Hands-on technical experience debugging complex subsystems involving network microprocessors and software-controlled electrical or electromechanical devices
